God Bless Africa
The archbishop of Cape Town preaches as Sunday Worship visits South Africa with former ´óÏó´«Ã½ world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge, 20 years after the end of apartheid.
The Most Revd Dr Thabo Makgoba, Archbishop of Capetown preaches as Worship visits South Africa with former ´óÏó´«Ã½ world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge to experience faith in action in a country still making its transition from the apartheid era to a society in which the institutionally race-based politics and economy of that time no longer shapes people's lives. We will be in Soweto, the huge and sprawling township outside Johannesburg, hearing and meeting the celebrated choir of a church that was in the forefront of absorbing the suffering and the long-thwarted aspirations of black people under apartheid. We hear how today's young of South Africa are being equipped for the opportunities and challenges of the new South Africa and how its infectious music nourishes their lives and worship. There will be reflections, too, from those who lead and those who follow in furthering faith in the land that became synonymous with reconciliation, so badly needed elsewhere today. Producer: Andrew Earis.
